A Long Thin Swimming Pool Extends Out From This Hillside Home

A modern concrete home built into the hillside, has a partial green roof and a long swimming pool.

Aristides Dallas Architects has designed a new concrete home named ‘The Lap Pool House’ in Tinos, Greece, whose design was inspired by the cavities and ledges of the rocks.

Emerging from the natural landscape as a man-made cave, this modern concrete home with a linear swimming pool, has been designed to somewhat blend in with its surroundings, with the partial green roof acting as a continuation of the hillside.

The home has an exposed concrete structure, with the roof of the home extending to create a shaded interior and patio.

One of the key design elements that also gives the home its name, is the long swimming pool that extends away from the house.
